For a ‘Best of 2013’ assignment at Fuse, I created in-depth list at the 15 moments that further pushed K-pop into the global, mainstream music consciousness. Music can’t ignore moments like another Korean song topping the charts worldwide, a K-pop group’s fanbase outvoting the fans of the West’s biggest stars, SXSW inviting a K-pop act, more Korean stars touring in America and more. It was exciting and fun to further prove K-pop’s expansion as well see fans get excited and riled up about their favorite acts getting the recognition from a United States TV station website.
